similar to: setting the screen background with gconftool-2

I'm running centos 5.5 - 64 on Nvidia hardware. I am getting video from totem mixed in with my background image when I stop totem. If I change the background back to the default it does not seem to happen. However, as soon as I change the background to something else like ladybug.jpg and run totem fullscreen, then ask totem to quit with "totem --quit" the last video image is

Everytime I see this in the logs my internet access stops for about 5 minutes. Nothing else follows in the logs. I have DSL. Any ideas?

Just had a weird thing happen that I've never encountered before. Running Centos 5.x (updated) on 32-bit (Athlon XP). Was going along in Firefox when suddenly my screen went black and the hard drive light came on mostly steady for several seconds. After a little bit I got back the X login screen. It normally comes up on F7, but F7 was dead (with some text I'll paste in below in case it

I am using gconftool to set a number of parameters up automatically... However, the one parameter I cannot find is under root you should be able to set the "automatic login" on first boot up. This found under "Applications", "System settings", "Login screen", then automatic login. Can someone point me to that setting? THanks, Jerry

Some how I have changed something such that the command line: gconftool-2 -t string --set /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename /usr/share/backgrounds/images/other.jpg does not change my background any longer. Has someone come across this before? How can I change gnome back to ALL default settings? Jerry

I pushed out some changes to gwd that makes it possible to properly set an overall opacity value for any metacity theme. Making the complete decorations translucent can look bad with some themes. However, I've made it possible to have the opacity fade from opaque to the selected opacity value in a similar way to how the built-in decorations look. This usually looks a lot better. I'll add

Hi, I am not sure if I probably have overlooked some important clue, but I am stuck with a problem with the gdm-greeter in CentOS 6.3 here since three days without finding any suitable solution. The problem: * I have to somehow deactivate the "Suspend", "Restart" and "Shutdown" options in the login screen. * This has to be done in CLI mode, as I have to change

I am using gconftool-2 to setup exec_ats and it is not taking it? Specifially I am doing: gconftool-2 -t list --list-type string --set /desktop/gnome/accessibility/startup/exec_ats "[/home/user/myprogram]" then when I look at it in the gconf-editor nothing is there... What is it I am missing... I have many other bool type settings that work fine. Thanks in advance. Jerry

Installing CentOS 6 on a lab full of workstations, and I want to disable fast user switching. With CentOS 5, I simply made sure that the "user_switch_enabled" entry in /etc/gconf/schemas/gnome-screensaver.schemas was set to false. However, that doesn't work with CentOS 6. I've found various proposed solutions to this issue, such as gconftool-2 --direct --config-source

Hi guys, And I thought it wasn''t a problem. Here''s my string "/var/www/vhosts/mysite.com/httpdocs/public/file/mypic.jpg" How do i take out all the text that comes before "mypic.jpg"? Trickier than I first thought. TIA, Bing -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi Friends, I am trying to configure screensavers settings on Gnome and KDE running Centos 5.x 32-bit environment. I need to prepare a script which will be push by Puppet and this script should be able to change settings like idle_delay, set customized password-protected screen saver, enabling lock etc.. I have tried below commands for Gnome and somehow the settings are not taking place. The

In CentOS 6 gconftool-2 (command line) is used to enable/disable items. In CentOS 7 I found "settings->power-> blank screen" as something I wish to configure by the command line? How is that accomplished? I brought up gconf-editor and searched for power and blank and found nothing. How can I control this setting from the command line? Thanks Jerry

on 6 the command: gconftool-2 -t bool --list-type bool --set /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/screensaver/start_screensaver false would stop the screen saver. What is it on 7. The above seems to do nothing. Also The gnome-panel process was running in 6 - it does not seem to be run in 7. How do I hide/remove the top and bottom panel? The "hide" in gconftool-2 for top and bottom done seem

Hello list, despite I already posted a mail on this topic on R help, I guess this place may be more appropriate. I'll make it shorter this time. Sorry for posting twice. I found that using pixmap pictures in a Sweave document was sometimes almost impossible, due to the huge size of the pdf pictures produced. The first solution I found was to save pictures in png, when too heavy in pdf.

Hi. I have just installed latest git vanilla compiz under fedora core 6 and I have run into two problems: 1. Metacity theme support does not work. As soon as I type in gconftool-2 -s /apps/gwd/use_metacity_theme -t bool true the window border disappears. I have tried it both under KDE and Gnome with the same result. the window border can be brought back by setting the above value back to false. 2.
